It's Digital Inclusion Week, the national celebration of the work being done to connect every household to the internet, devices, and digital skills they need to thrive.

And it's DAF Day, the one day a year dedicated to putting donor-advised fund dollars to work.

If you have a DAF, we can't think of a better way to mark both: recommend a grant to support our digital inclusion work. Every dollar means a neighbor online, a device in a student's hands, and someone gaining the confidence to navigate a digital world.

The money is already set aside for good. This week, send it where it counts.

How to give: Log in to your DAF provider, search for The STEM Alliance, and recommend a grant. EIN: 46-0973552

It’s National Digital Inclusion Week, an annual nationwide movement raising awareness about digital equity. In today’s connected world, reliable internet, devices, and digital skills are essential, not luxuries.

Connect Westchester participants at Catholic Charities Yonkers showed their support by wearing their digital inclusion pins while building the computer skills they need to take their next steps.

Let’s work together to bridge the digital divide in Westchester, New York, and beyond!

We had an awesome week at Shoreline Explorers at the Marine Education Center!

Our young explorers spent the week discovering the shoreline and learning about local shorebirds. They created piping plover nests in the sand using natural materials and used binoculars to observe birds along the shore. 🐦🔭 Along the way, they had the chance to get outside, explore, and learn more about the wildlife that calls our shoreline home!

Want to explore the Marine Education Center with your family? Join us for Family Tides tomorrow, October 3, from 10AM–1PM for a fun, drop-in morning of exploration and discovery.

There are only a couple Family Tides events left this year, so don’t miss out!

Breaking down the digital divide one laptop at a time.

Here are just a few of the community members who have received laptops from The STEM Alliance through our digital equity programs in the last two months.

Having access to a reliable computer opens possibilities and futures. Suddenly it’s easier to apply for jobs, complete schoolwork on time, access government resources, and stay connected with loved ones. Owning a device is so much more than just getting online, it lets people OWN their futures.

Yesterday was the first day of our Shoreline Explorers after-school program, and our young, intrepid explorers were already discovering marine life and the shoreline ecosystem at the Marine Education Center! 🐚

Wednesdays | Grades K–2 | 3:30–5:30 PM
